ok man... gonna try this later on, thx for this awesome batch

does anyone have a working preset here?? I've also start tinkering this one but its takes too long and I always got corrupted wim...

all i need to do is to put the 3 required files right??? thats it... everything will do by the batch file

I can't download your batch files for some reasons... here's what it said Sorry, some required files are missing, if you intended to view a topic, it's possible that it's been moved or deleted. Please go back and try again. But I've never knew it exist thanks for the info man...

well what I did is that I've put all my adobe installers onto wim from 6.70GB to 3.39GB at maximum compression. I really like how wim works, instead of mounting it an ISO to Virtual Drive, why not just mount it on a folder.. also wim format are modifiable when mounted.. This of archive has a lot of advantages, having able to compress, mount, modify and fast at reading files... and that's why for me its a must have features for an archive. The only disadvantage is compressing a 6.70GB 52,000 Files takes about 40 minutes on Athlon 64 X2 and 1GB 800Mhz DDR2 RAM and also I haven't test it yet on XP since it needs wimfltr in order to work..

what services i need to keep in order to make it work... I'm always having an error when saving Printer settings could not be saved. error 0x0000069d

w0w this is awesome! can't wait to try this one... now i have reason to reformat my computer Edit: i didn't get any errors.. it installs normally Ok ive tried it and it works perfectly also used my custom removals and ini. 588MB ISO winx86 I got 1.24GB used space HDD without pagefile and hibernation file 80MB winsxs with 5,300 files on it we can still make the ISO smaller we just need need to list all files that aren't include in winsxs folder. well there's still alot of files can be remove in Filemaps and ManifestCache since only few files remaining on winsxs..

actually theres been a patcher made for this and its also working on windows 7 you can try it out http://winprj.net/board/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=689

i mean vlite is also using Windows Image File Mini-Filter Driver (wimfltr.sys) in vLite\wimfltr\x86 are you also using the latest one?

@Jeronimo What imagex your using right now? is it came from WAIK for Win7 or Vista SP1, im currently using Win7 imagex right now and same goes to Wim Filter for vLite are using vista sp1 also?

@Jeronimo ive tried to mount it manually, ive found out that the owner of the Mount is the TrustedInstaller not Everyone nor the administrator... dunno why its always been mounted like that its like ive mounted it with no admin priviledges.. tried to mount it with 3 programs dism, imagex, & gimagex Here's The ScreenShot http://img200.imageshack.us/slideshow/webp...php?id=dism.jpg http://img200.imageshack.us/gal.php?g=dism.jpg

@Jeronimo hmm really strange huh?? i still need to take ownership first before doing the cleanup thing, do you think it has something to do with my filesystem priveledges or and admin priveledges.

hmmm theres something i really don't understand here.... you see before you do the removal cleanup, you must take ownership in every files that be going to cleanup, to do that you must use takeown and icalcs to take ownership of the files but theres no command executing the takeownship before the cleanup... so thats why i'm having an error that is access denied. So guys how do you do cleanup without taking ownership of the winsxs folder. is their any simpler way to do this?

@Jeronimo any updates to your batch??? i really would like using an updated one..

@dead0 actually im only using x86 OS... but i got still large wim size as i already deleted the drivers. i keep the IE8 in packages ive tried to remove it once and my explorer gone havoc, as for media player, printer support & wlan support i havent delete that yet... what are the files names of IE8, Media Player, printer support & wlan support in winsxs. well im gonna add some more in jeronimo's clean up batch file..

@dead0 well ive manage to trim down my wim size to 860MB which is not bad.. but i wanted to remove more, i really wanted to make my wim down to 500MB that would be awesome... well this all the files that ive removed using Jeronimo cleanup batch and i added some files in powershell REM Empty folders rd /s /q "%mount%\Program Files\DVD Maker">nul rd /s /q "%mount%\Program Files\Windows Portable Devices">nul rd /s /q "%mount%\Program Files (x86)\Windows Portable Devices">nul REM Internet Explorer copy "%mount%\Program Files\Internet Explorer\ieproxy.dll" "%mount%\Windows\system32" REM regsvr32 /s "%SystemRoot%\system32\ieproxy.dll" rd /s /q "%mount%\Program Files\Internet Explorer">nul rd /s /q "%mount%\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer">nul REM Remove Recovery & Backup del /s /f /q "%mount%\Windows\System32\Recovery\*.*">nul del /s /f /q "%mount%\Windows\Winsxs\Backup">nul REM Windows Powershell rd /s /q "%mount%\windows\system32\WindowsPowerShell">nul rd /s /q "%mount%\windows\syswow64\WindowsPowerShell">nul REM Wallpapers move "%mount%\Windows\web\Wallpaper\Windows" "%mount%\Windows\web\Windows">nul for /d %%i in (%mount%\Windows\Web\Wallpaper\*) do rd /s /q %%i>nul move "%mount%\Windows\web\Windows" "%mount%\Windows\web\Wallpaper\Windows">nul REM Power Shell set part=powershell del /f /s /q "%mount%\Windows\winsxs\Manifests\%cb%_%MS%-%part%*">nul for /d %%i in (%mount%\Windows\winsxs\%cb%_%MS%-%part%*) do rd /s /q %%i>nul del /f /s /q "%mount%\Windows\winsxs\Manifests\msil_microsoft.iis.%part%* for /d %%i in (%mount%\Windows\winsxs\msil_microsoft.iis.%part%*) do rd /s /q %%i>nul del /f /s /q "%mount%\Windows\winsxs\Manifests\msil_microsoft.iis.power* for /d %%i in (%mount%\Windows\winsxs\msil_microsoft.iis.power*) do rd /s /q %%i>nul del /f /s /q "%mount%\Windows\winsxs\Manifests\msil_microsoft.%part%* for /d %%i in (%mount%\Windows\winsxs\msil_microsoft.%part%*) do rd /s /q %%i>nul del /f /s /q "%mount%\Windows\winsxs\Manifests\msil_microsoft.powershel*">nul for /d %%i in (%mount%\Windows\winsxs\msil_microsoft.powershel*) do rd /s /q %%i>nul del /f /s /q "%mount%\Windows\winsxs\Manifests\%cb%_microsoft.powershel*">nul for /d %%i in (%mount%\Windows\winsxs\%cb%_microsoft.powershel*) do rd /s /q %%i>nul del /f /s /q "%mount%\Windows\winsxs\Manifests\%cb%_%MS%-p..ll*">nul for /d %%i in (%mount%\Windows\winsxs\%cb%_%MS%-p..ll*) do rd /s /q %%i>nul del /f /s /q "%mount%\Windows\winsxs\Manifests\%cb%_%MS%-g..shell*">nul for /d %%i in (%mount%\Windows\winsxs\%cb%_%MS%-g..shell*) do rd /s /q %%i>nul del /f /s /q "%mount%\Windows\winsxs\Manifests\%cb%_%MS%-gpowershell*">nul for /d %%i in (%mount%\Windows\winsxs\%cb%_%MS%-gpowershell*) do rd /s /q %%i>nul del /f /s /q "%mount%\Windows\winsxs\Manifests\%cb%_%MS%-p..shell*">nul for /d %%i in (%mount%\Windows\winsxs\%cb%_%MS%-p..shell*) do rd /s /q %%i>nul REM Media Center set part=ehome del /f /s /q "%mount%\Windows\winsxs\Manifests\%cb%_%MS%-%part%*">nul for /d %%i in (%mount%\Windows\winsxs\%cb%_%MS%-%part%*) do rd /s /q %%i>nul del /f /s /q "%mount%\Windows\winsxs\Manifests\%cb%_%part%*">nul for /d %%i in (%mount%\Windows\winsxs\%cb%_%part%*) do rd /s /q %%i>nul REM Redundant drivers REM ATi set part=ati del /f /s /q "%mount%\Windows\inf\%part%*">nul del /f /s /q "%mount%\Windows\system32\Driverstore\en-US\%part%*">nul del /f /s /q "%mount%\Windows\winsxs\Manifests\%cb%_%part%*">nul for /d %%i in (%mount%\Windows\system32\Driverstore\FileRepository\%part%*) do rd /s /q %%i>nul for /d %%i in (%mount%\Windows\winsxs\%cb%_%part%*) do rd /s /q %%i>nul REM Fritz!

@Jeronimo on your packages excel sheet you've guess that Microsoft-Windows-Media-Format-Package removes Media Metadata Handler but it isnt... i dunno what really removes metadata handler.. may its the media foundation i think and also if media metadata handler removed does the Video Thumbnails also? cause i really wanted Video Thumbnails to work.. this what makes windows 7 awesome. and yeah there's a newest package added in windows 7 its Microsoft-Windows-ShareMedia-ControlPanel-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~~6.1.7264.0 i don't what is this for .. does anyone seen it yet?

@dead0 o_O cant believe that you're doing it manually that is pain staking process aint it? @Jeronimo huhuhu cant make it work... i dont know what parameter do i need to use in order to make it run. EDIT: finally ive done it.. i thought you need to put /packages or -pakages on cmd prompt hehe can i also unmount /discard image using your batch?

@Jeronimo i see.. thats why im having trouble with your batch file. Ive been tinkering it for days now but i cant even make it work, i didn't know that there's parameter needed to make it run anyway thanks man... i will also testing the newest build and yeah if you have updates on your batch can you keep it updated.. thx

@jeronimo you can only remove the files and folders in winsxs if you already have taken the ownership of winsxs folder.. in your batch file there's no command taking the ownership of this folder... so that's why I'm having access denied errors in you batch file due to that i don't have full control of it. can you write a batch that taking rights on selected folders so i wont spend to much time than taking whole winsxs folder cause ive tried to take ownership of winsxs folder and its takes too much time than removing packages in dism. @dead0 do you also made a batch file deleting the drivers in winsxs folder?? or you just remove it manually using unlocker.

@jeronimo in your Cleanup of drivers and folders batch i always got access denied due to file and folder restrictions... how can you remove those just using your batch file

@jeronimo oh, i mean the ">nul" command on your batch file... i thought it was null command hehe, what does >nul stands for?

@Jeronimo wooohhh!!! that an awesome batch mate... well thx!! greatly appreciated. anyway i noob question here.. whats the difference of deleting the folder and nullifying the folder? does the nullified folder will be removed after rebuilding the image??

tedious? what do you mean by that? cant i just delete the whole folder of it? or it will have an error if I just delete the folder? thx.. i havent done this before gonna try this one.

can you guys list all the removable folders in winsxs so i could create a batch of it.. thx
